For me it was more a question of chemistry and attraction than liking, I suppose. 'Like' is a pretty encompassing word. I knew I liked you, in the sense that I'd want to talk to you and have a beer with you and all that. If we'd want each other in person, that was what I was worried about.

But yes. In most cases it happens gradually, but internet affairs are hardly most cases.

And I like your voice and your eyes and your big feet.
